- Saying Happy Christmas in Irish. So, this isn’t exactly an Irish Christmas blessing, but learning how to say ‘Happy Christmas’ in Irish is worth the 2 minutes it’ll take.
- To peace and plenty. The first of our real Irish Christmas blessings is short, sweet and packed with meaning. It’s an easy one to read aloud but it’d be just as effective if written in a card or as part of a text message.
- Bless the hearth. Those of you on the lookout for more religious Irish Christmas blessings should be fond of this next one. It’s nicely formatted with the verse prompting the blessing of the listeners/readers home.
- As the sun rises gold. If you’re looking for Irish Christmas prayers that have a notable dash of ‘Irishness’ to them, this one is worth considering. It’s a religious verse but it also mentions the ‘Emerald Isle’, which is rare in Irish Christmas wishes.

Ah, good aul December 8th. There are two Irish Christmas traditions associated with this day that are still alive and well in Ireland. The first is the putting up of the Christmas tree; we were always told as kids that December 8th was the day when you were officially ‘allowed’ to start decorating your house. Now, of course some people put their tr...
This leads me onto tradition two – popping up Christmas decorations around the house. So, some people will just stick up a Christmas tree in the corner of their living room, and that’ll be it. Others will place tinsel and fat little ornaments of Santa around their living room and in many places on the ground floor of their home. Now, this tends to ...
January 6th is traditionally when Christmas in Ireland comes to a close – the tree comes down and all of the festive gear goes back up into the attic. However, on this day, one of several old Irish Christmas traditions takes place – Nollaig na mBan(AKA ‘Little Christmas’ or ‘Women’s Christmas’). This custom was born during a time when the running o...
Next up is one of the more common Christmas traditions in Ireland – the placing of a candle in the window on the home on Christmas Eve. This tradition that has spread right the way around the globe thanks to the many Irish immigrants that have set up shop far and wide. This tradition dates back hundreds of years and takes place on Christmas Eve aft...
One of my favourite Christmas traditions in Ireland that I absolutely do nottake part in is the Christmas morning swim. Many friends and families in Ireland have a tradition of meeting on their local beach on Christmas morning for a paddle. As you can imagine, the weather in Irelandis pretty chilly at this time of year and the water is icy cold! Th...
Midnight Mass on Christmas Eve (December 24th) is another of the old Irish Christmas traditions practised by many. Now, although Midnight Mass was traditionally held at Midnight, it’s now, in many places, held at 10:00. I’ve heard many different stories over the years about why this was moved back to 10… if you rack your brain for a minute, I’m sur...
If you’re looking for weird yet wonderful Irish Christmas traditions, look no further than the Wren Boys tradition, which some say is tied to Irish mythology. The tradition of the Wren Boystakes place on December 26th, otherwise known as ‘St. Stephen’s Day’ (Boxing Day in the UK), and involves the hunting of a fake wren and popping it on top of a p...

One of the newer Christmas traditions in Ireland revolves around lively festive markets. Christmas markets in Ireland are a relatively new arrival. Many towns and cities across Ireland now boast their very own Yuletide Market. The most notable are the Galway Christmas market, the Dublin Castle Christmas market, the Belfast Christmas market, Waterfo...
As a kid, I always used to go to a ‘Pantomine’ (Panto for short) with my Nan in Dublin. If you’re not familiar with Pantos, they’re a kind of musical comedy that take place on stages of various sizes. They were originally developed in the Uk but they’ve been popular in Ireland for many years. One of the most notable Pantos in Ireland takes place in...
